Thor Industries

I was just reading the Motley Fool and discovered that Thor was one of a list of 5 debt free companies that are worth a look for investment purposes. (Garmin is another)

This is a quote from a comment on the site

"This is a well-run business, with no-nonsense managmenent. Right now this company is heavily exposed to consumer discretionary spending and a lack of ability for consumers to finance RVs. However the company also produces school buses as part of its revenue, and is sheltered from consumer spending somewhat as a result. Another good reason to bank on this as a long-term value purchase is a small counter-trend of people selling their houses and becoming entirely mobile. The sanctity of the permanent residence as ... your most valuable asset is a fantasy ballon that has been effectively popped. RVs will stay appealing over the next 5-10 and 20 years, the more mobile we, as a society become."

I think this is good news for the future of Keystone and especially Montana.

Thor Industries is widely diversified. Last quarter the only divisions that were doing OK were the commercial bus division.

Robbie, would you QUIT teasing me with all of those gorgeous pictures! I'm expecting 15" of snow tomorrow! You should make an MOC Calender!

I'm not surprised Thor is in the clear - they have all my money!

Brad,

You could drive here in one day pulling your Thor product.

I'd even reserve a spot for you at Arches NP!

It's a thought Robbie, but I would have to dig out this week. Finally getting a load of some white stuff - look out for the tsunami coming your way when it melts.
